Cigars Reviewed

So in keeping with the spirit of the 4th of July I wanted to review the CAO America. I picked up a CAO America sampler pack at Corona Cigar Co. over the weekend.

What makes the CAO America cigar unique is that it has two wrapper leaves, a dark brown Connecticut Broad leaf maduro and a golden-brown Connecticut shade wrapper give it a pin-striped look. The binder is from Brazil and the filler is made up from several different leaves: Nicaraguan, Dominican, Italian, and USA. The different fillers help give it a straightforward and full-bodied flavor. 

The cigar I am reviewing for you today is the CAO America Constitution. It’s a 6×50 box-press cigar. I found myself to be quite impressed with this smoke. It is a full-bodied cigar the starts rich and leathery, nutty with a dark coffee note. Midway through it is still rich and smooth with coffee & leather flavors and hints of nut. The finish has smooth and rich roasted coffee and nut flavors that end very well.

This cigar, in my mind, captures the essence of American flavor. I find myself thinking of that classic backyard B-B-Q with burgers grilling and friends enjoying themselves all-around. All this cigar needs is a slice of apple pie to finish that classic American flavor. Scoring an 89 this cigar is a must try for anybody who enjoys a full-bodied smoke.
